Magic the Gathering
Magic the Gathering is probably my favorite game of all time. I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay, the collecting aspect and the social interactions. We have a local card shop that does a fantastic job advertising, providing play space and catering to the needs of players of all levels. I have quite the extensive collection and have enjoyed being a member of the magic community for quite some time.

Action Figure Review
Mattel Basic Series SummerSlam 1992 British Bulldog Everyone's favourite Manc The 'problem' with The British Bulldog (A.K.A. Davey Boy Smith) is that I could write about him forever. This guy single-handedly got me into professional wrestling. I remember watching him make his way down to the ring with Winston. His Union Jack cape proudly on display. As a young, British fan watching an all American 'sport'...he was a perfect (and instant) role model. Not only did we Brits have a legit awesome superstar represent us in the ring...but he was northern too! He may not have been technically gifted in the ring, but what he brought to the squared circle (& a generation of fans and superstars) is something never to be replicated again. His stand out moment was SummerSlam 1992. It has gone down as one of the best ever. Huge credit has to go to Bret 'The Hitman' Hart (we all know he carried the match, and so did Davey Boy Smith) but that match for the Intercontinental Championship was a milestone moment for UK wrestling fans (and future British based wrestlers). This Basic Series figure by Mattel captures DBS from that glorious night, so let's take a look and see if the toy giants did him justice.

Starcraft: The Board Game at 10
StarCraft: The Board Game would have reached its 10th birthday this year if it wasn’t for its untimely death in 2011. In its four-year lifespan, the candle burned twice as bright with a Brood Wars expansion and a Blizzcon Typhon planet promo. This was a beautifully produced child of Fantasy Flight Games with Blizzard Entertainment’s input and designed by Christian T. Petersen and Corey Konieczka.
